Move…

One important identity that Ms. Letissier’s Christine wears is that of a dancer. As she sings, Ms. Letissier gets inside her music, punctuating the beat with a silken authority or sliding her body between notes to give her songs an unusual kind of energy. She isn’t dancing to the music; she is the music.

“Movement never lies,” Martha Graham liked to say, and Ms. Letissier’s use of dance in her videos and stage performances brings her closer to the essence of Christine. “When you dance, you own everything you have,” Ms. Letissier said. “You are really in your own body. You do it with your muscles and your bones and your weight and your height — it’s how to love yourself by moving.”
